Poe Learning Improves Primary School Students 'Science Learning Achieviement

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low motivation and achievement of students, as well as the implementation of science learning which is still less meaningful. This requires teachers to innovate learning. Researchers innovate by conducting learning research that emphasizes direct experience using the Predict Observe and Explain (POE) learning model. This study aims to determine the effect of the application of POE learning on student activities, student learning achievement of class V SDN Sidorejo I Tuban about the concept of the water cycle, this study also aims to determine the effect of the application of POE learning on teacher activities. This type of research is classroom action research which consists of 2 cycles. This study uses the research model of Kemmis and Mc. Taggart consists of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were fifth grade students of SDN Sidorejo I Tuban. Research data obtained through observation and test results. The results showed that the activities of teachers and students increased. Students' learning mastery increased from 67.64% in the first cycle to 91.17% in the second cycle. It can be concluded that the application of POE learning can improve student learning outcomes. Researchers suggest that teachers need to develop more meaningful POE learning.
